Chapter 308 Talking about business
"Boss Jia, we'll be polite, but just tell me how many interstellar coins you can give me!" Mu Chenyang spoke directly to Jia Hongwen as soon as he entered the office. His eyes were firm and confident, and he exuded an unquestionable aura.
Just now outside, he had used his intelligent brain to quickly investigate the interstellar price situation. He was now confident about the value of the things he brought and believed that he could earn a lot of interstellar coins from them.
He thought to himself, if this boss was dishonest and tried to play tricks on the price, then don't blame him for being rude. Besides, he wasn't someone who would be easily threatened; he had enough confidence and means to deal with any situation that might arise.
Jia Hongwen felt a slight shiver in his heart as he watched Mu Chenyang's imposing presence. He keenly sensed that the aura he displayed in front of him was even more powerful than when he had just faced the captain. He silently warned himself that this group of people must not be underestimated and must be treated with caution.
"The best wine we sell now is 3,000 interstellar coins per bottle, and one bottle is 500 milliliters. The wine you just gave me to taste is more than ten times stronger than mine, but I want to sell it to you in bulk, so the price definitely cannot be too high." As Jia Hongwen spoke, he carefully observed their faces, trying to capture some useful information from their expressions in order to better grasp the rhythm of the negotiations.
"Well, just give me a price you can accept!" Mu Chenyang said calmly, looking directly into Jia Hongwen's eyes. His eyes revealed an invisible pressure, as if telling Jia Hongwen that if the price he offered didn't satisfy them, then the deal would be difficult to close. Jia Hongwen groaned inwardly, knowing full well that this was the most difficult part of the negotiation. If he offered too little, the other party would definitely be unhappy, and the deal would fall through; but if he offered too much, he would suffer a loss. It was truly an extremely difficult situation. His mind raced, weighing the pros and cons.
However, after careful consideration, he realized that the quality of this wine was truly exceptional. After just two glasses, he felt a distinctly better feeling than ever before. This indicated that the wine was most likely crafted from precious natural ingredients. If that were the case, the higher price was understandable. Furthermore, his business philosophy was to buy low and sell high. As long as he could acquire at the right price and then market at an even higher price, he would undoubtedly earn a substantial profit.
With this in mind, he stopped dwelling on the price and instead summoned up the courage to offer a price he thought the wine was worth—six thousand interstellar coins a bottle. He knew that in today's interstellar world, the average monthly income was around five thousand interstellar coins, and that was after comprehensive evaluation. The price he offered was far beyond the spending power of the average interstellar person.
"Six thousand interstellar coins, boss, this price is still a little low!" Mu Chenyang frowned slightly, a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He had originally expected the price to be much higher than this. After all, although this wine was not extremely rare in their world, it was unique in the interstellar space.
"Well, six thousand interstellar coins a bottle is already more than the average monthly salary for an interstellar person," Boss Jia explained nervously. He was worried that Mu Chenyang would terminate the negotiations directly due to the price, and then he would miss out on a great business opportunity.
"Boss Jia, let me be honest with you. This wine is made with rice, a natural food. It takes a lot of natural food to make just this small bottle. Do you think the price is too low?" Mu Chenyang looked at Jia Hongwen seriously. He was right. The brewing process of this wine required a large amount of rice and other natural foods. Although these foods were plentiful in their original world, they were extremely precious in the resource-scarce environment of interstellar space.
"Is this really all made from natural foods?" Jia Hongwen asked, eyes wide open, his face filled with surprise. He had only vaguely sensed the energy of natural foods in the wine, but when Mu Chenyang personally confirmed that the wine was made entirely from natural foods, he was still indescribably shocked. He couldn't help but secretly calculate, if this was all made from natural foods, how much precious natural food would it take!
"Of course, this is real natural food." Mu Chenyang nodded affirmatively and said in a firm tone.
"I believe you. Then add another 500 interstellar coins. Otherwise, too few people can afford it." Jia Hongwen hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said. Although he knew that this price might still not meet the other party's expectations, he didn't dare to raise the price too high all at once. After all, he still needed to consider the market's acceptance.
"How about this, Boss Jia? At eight thousand interstellar coins per bottle, I can supply you with a thousand bottles per month. That's a generous amount. What do you think? We can sign a one-year contract." Mu Chenyang directly stated his ideal price, quantity, and duration. He believed this plan was reasonable for both parties, ensuring a substantial profit while providing Jia Hongwen with a sufficient supply to expand the market.
"One thousand bottles a month? Isn't that a little too little?" Jia Hongwen's eyes flashed with disappointment. He had hoped to get more supply so he could occupy a larger market share. However, he was still quite satisfied with the price, so he still wanted to get more.
"This is already our highest number, but I have another kind of fruit wine here. I wonder if Mr. Jia is interested in trying it!" Mu Chenyang smiled slightly and said to Jia Hongwen. He knew the unique charm of this fruit wine and believed that once Jia Hongwen tasted it, he would be deeply attracted to it.
"There's another kind of wine? Really? I'll definitely give it a try." Jia Hongwen perked up immediately, his face lit with excitement. He figured that if there were other wines to choose from, then a smaller selection of liquor wouldn't be a problem. After all, a diverse product range would satisfy more customers and benefit his business.
"This is it, try it!" Mu Chenyang elegantly picked up an exquisite glass goblet and gently poured a glass of wine for Jia Hongwen. The red wine swayed slowly in the glass, like a crystal clear ruby, emitting a charming luster.
Jia Hongwen took the wine glass and couldn't help but marvel at its exquisiteness. He had never seen such a beautiful glass before. In the interstellar world, most wine glasses are simple and practical, rarely such beautiful and artistic designs. His eyes immediately fell on the wine. Surprisingly, this wine was not the common white, but a bright red. The brilliant color made people feel happy at the first sight. He first leaned close to the wine glass and gently sniffed the aroma of the wine, immediately noticing that it had a completely different fragrance from the white wine he had just tasted. The aroma of this wine was full of rich fruit aroma. Although he didn't know the specific fruit, the charming fragrance alone made him feel extremely comfortable.
He took a small sip, intending to savor it carefully. The moment the wine slid down his throat, he suddenly felt a surge of powerful energy coursing through his body. He was deeply shocked; this was an effect only high-quality natural food could have. With just this small sip, he clearly felt his mental strength soothed, as if his exhausted body and mind had found a deep relaxation.
"What kind of wine is this?" Jia Hongwen asked, looking at them in disbelief. His voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
"This is red wine, also known as grape wine, made from a natural fruit. How is it? Delicious, right?" Mu Chenyang replied with a smile. He had just noticed Jia Hongwen's surprised expression as he tasted the wine, and he was secretly pleased with himself. It seemed that the wine had successfully piqued his interest. He didn't know that Jia Hongwen was so astonished not only because of the wine's delicious taste, but also because of its miraculous soothing effect on the mind.
"This wine is amazing! I'll take any amount you can give me! You name the price," Jia Hongwen said excitedly. His eyes revealed a frenzied desire, as if he could already see this miraculous red wine becoming a huge hit in the market. He firmly believed that if he could bring this wine to market, countless people would rush to buy it, and his hotel business would surely flourish.
"This wine is even more precious, but it is made from natural fruits. You also know that natural fruits are very rare." Mu Chenyang did not say the price immediately, but first emphasized the preciousness of the raw materials, making full preparations for asking for a high price.
"I know, it's normal for the price to be high. How about 10,000 interstellar coins a bottle?" Jia Hongwen asked cautiously and tentatively. Although he was eager for the wine, he was also worried that the price he offered would not satisfy Mu Chenyang, and he would miss this rare business opportunity.
"Ten thousand? That's a bit low. I want at least fifteen thousand!" Mu Chenyang said firmly. He had a clear bottom line in mind. This wine was worth far more than ten thousand interstellar coins, and he wouldn't compromise easily.
"Isn't this too expensive?" Jia Hongwen exclaimed in surprise. Although he knew the wine was valuable, the price of fifteen thousand yuan was still beyond his expectations.
"Boss Jia, try this fruit!" Mu Chenyang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and directly took out a bunch of red grapes from the space button, placed it on the table, and invited Jia Hongwen to try it. The grapes were plump and bright in color, as tempting as purple gems.
